    Brutes Late game?

    Hey guys I was wondering if someone who is good can give me the low down on how brutes perform late game at tier 3? How effective are they with there electrical stun vs. tanks for example? would it be better to go pure hunter or would the mix with the stun help?

     I find them overall pretty decent, I like when me and a partner attack an army I can jump behind them so both our armies are attacking at once. I also find there jump packs great for maneovering away from a battle that is going sour or getting behind a base to hit key buildings during larger battles.

     Any suggestions on when to use or when not to use would be great, my biggest complaint is how long they take to replenish. Also I don't like rushing with them so some other xamples would be nice.

    if your one of thoses people who like to build up get a full pop of bansheee's with your brute and the voretex pwns wolves so focus on the wovles with your banshee's and vortex then just use your brute cheitain to stun tanks and banshee's to clean up any tanks also

    if you mena brute squads then in late game there good but dont make a huge part of your army or use to counter anything, if they have vehciles dont use brutes to stop them still get hunters but they have nice building damage

    Brute are always good to use as the brute. I wouldn't go ALL brutes, because tanks hard counter them. If your talking aboiut going against ALL tanks, then make brutes/hunters. Im a prophet player, and against forge I prefer Wraiths/Hunters if he makes tanks.

    If I were a brute, against tanks, I would make Wraiths/Hunters with a few brutes mixed in for good building damage.

    they dont really even stun tanks they just do more damage i think, or else its like a random stun. they work good in mix with hunters and jackals, if flamers get close jump them behind tanks and trap the tanks towards hunters.(works with hogs too)

    What you should build depends on your teammates. Wraiths are def not a good idea if you have unsc teammates. Usually I go banshees after my rush and just see how the games goes from there.

    every decent team has a unsc player and a covie player. so yer, if you have a unsc player, they should always go scorpions...

    Build brutes late game is quite risky, and you have to be a stronge BC user to make it effective. Seeing that it is still INF and INF sucks if you use it improper (Even though they do have some stun, micro > brute. But if you have a pretty high teched brute/vortex the stun will be quite effect.

    There over all a pretty decent and probly the best Covy 'special' unit in the game seeing that Elite honor guards cant hit air.. and they pretty much suck after early game. And same for suicide grunts, unless your planning to just completely blow up a base in a few seconds, but in majorite, Brutes are decent.

    Re: Brutes Late game?

    brutes are awesome with jetpack, just jump away if they to kill you.

    brutes killing a base, look some flamers running at my brutes, jump to the other side. ha flamers are left to run back arround the base. when they get there, jump to the other side again!

    they also rape hard with electric shot, a mass of brutes is very good late game. very good building damage and very good hit and run.


    I get banned for no reason

    Re: Brutes Late game?

    engineers are great for any Cov late game. use on BC, Hunters, Scarab, buildings, etc

     

    my personal preference is 13 Engineers + whatever ^^

     

    Edit: making sure you know that I meant Ngs + Brute + BC in your case cause I kinda sounded like an idiot bringing up Ngs outta no where :-p

    Re: Brutes Late game?

    in my opinion brutes if anything should have ended the game earlier if used properly any way because of their building damage and health especially in team games if there is protection for them i.e. another player as arby who can rage the counters
    Im not the best player around i know that but my god im sure ive had some of the worst on my team ¬¬
